8th December 2019
I made a start on the drawerless dresser. I intended to add three small drawers along the top. I was able to salvage the runners for the new positions, and I had plywood left over from another job to make a floor, so things were looking promising for a low cost restoration.
In the afternoon we took the dogs to the park for exercise, well mostly for us.
I wanted to run up the steps and see how many I could cover before my heart exploded.
It is a wonderful place, but we decided to go off piste and try to find the remains of an old water tower that was covered in graffiti. The climbing up was a strain because there were no steps, but finally we made it.
The return journey was not so easy “you need to find a big stick” Kelli advised. She picked up a branch that looked a bit rotten, I found one that looked like something that Gandalf, from Lord of the Rings, would carry.
We started our decent, I was in front, sticking my staff ahead, supporting my weight. This was working, I could hear a little giggling, as Kelli was trying to control her dog and trying to use the stick. Suddenly she slipped, and fell on to her back, laughing as she fell. This is not unusual, she can trip over her own feet, even though they are so small.
We continued our decent reaching the path with no further incident.
The sun was going down, and we could see a deer standing on the ridge, almost invisible against the trees. Kelli got all excited as she had never seen one there before, it was a fitting end to her arse sliding episode.
Another Lifetime to go
